Vandals Hit Newly Improved Campuses

It’ll be another month before school starts up again in the Sacramento City Unified School District. And work crews are using the time to revamp some of the district’s under-performing campuses. But vandals have already trashed much of their work.

“We want these to be incubators of innovation. So we’re trying out best practices there. We’re doing a lot of work with staff and with principals.”

Shelton says that’s why it’s so discouraging that vandals have already tagged a few newly painted walls with graffiti. They also broke some newly planted trees in half. Shelton says people who live near the schools can help prevent any more damage by keeping an eye out for suspicious activity.
